Curious Mother

I discovered this tree in a park in Russia that adjoins one of Peter the Greats palaces on the Baltic Sea. It looks so undeniably female that I photographed it. It is a very strong image that contrasts with the smaller figure observed by the “mother.” There are all kinds of mother’s; this title is ironic considering that the mother seems curious but detached from the little one.
